The verb substantive to be, is expressed in 

 Chayma by az. On adding to the verb the 

 personal pronoun /, (u from u-re) a g is placed, 

 for the sake of euphony, before the u, as in 

 guaz, I am, properly g-u-az. As the first per- 

 son is known by an u, the second is designated 

 by an m, the third by an i; thou art, maz; 

 muerepuec araquapemaz P why art thou sad ? 

 properly that for sad thou be ; punpuec topuche- 

 maz, thou art fat in body, properly flesh {pun) 

 for (puec) fat (topuche) thou be (maz). The 

 possessive pronouns precede the substantive ; 

 upatay, in my house, properly me house in. 

 All the prepositions and the negation pra are 

 incorporated at the end, as in the Tamanack. 

 We say in Chayma, ipuec, with him, properly 

 him with ; euya, to thee, or thee to ; epuec char*
